A. Lange & Söhne now also available “Down Under”
The official opening of A Lange & Sohne Espace at Watches of Switzerland 294 Collins Street, Melbourne was on April 12 2013 , followed by dinner at Vue de Monde.
Daniel Rogger , International Sales director , Joanna Lange , Senior Training Consultant and Michelle Chen, Country Manager attended from A Lange & Sohne .
I was not sure who I would see on the night but I was very pleased to see many purists that night . It was a great evening of fine food , wines and conversation with watch enthusiasts. Viewing the Lange watches and having the opportunity to talk to Joanna and Michelle about A Lange & Sohne Lange and the watches made a great evening.
Watches of Switzerland in Melbourne is the first point of sale in Australia and will be a destination for A Lange & Sohne enthusiasts.
Thank You to A Lange & Sohne and Eric van de Griend, executive Chairman of Watches of Switzerland for invite.
I have a selection of photos taken at the dinner . I am sure Andrew Daly, our HoMe moderator will be presenting more photos from that night.
Cheers,dreamer
